The video game industry is a major entertainment industry that has over $20 billion in annual sales.[1] Video game sales surpassed Hollywood revenue in the year 2007.[2]
The biggest one-day movie opening was New Moon, which grossed $72 million on its first day[3], while the biggest video game opening was Call of Duty: Black Ops, which grossed over $360 million its first day[4], more than most total revenue of most movies. However, it should be taken into consideration that the average video game can cost more than 7 times the average movie ticket (games can exceed $50, often reaching $60).
Video Games and the Spreading of Liberal Values
The video game industry has a long history of spreading liberal values to children. The spread of these values has negative effects on society and children. Video game designers seek to promote immoral behavior such as profanity, violence, gambling, alcohol and drug use, theft, premarital sex, extramarital sex, polygamy, and many others.
Examples
